Finding testing locations for clep

[Merlin]

I live in NC and I have found it difficult to find a testing location for CLEP and DSST exam. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know why?

Thanks in advance

There used to be a lot more CLEP testing open centers but it seems like they're becoming harder to find everywhere. I live in in a huge metro area (San Francisco, CA) and most of the local CLEP test centers are now gone, or closed to the public (at schools who only offer them only to their own students). In this area, the only open CLEP testing centers are now an hour or more drive away (much more with traffic).

I'm not sure why that is. Maybe the proctoring fees are not enough to cover the costs of keeping the test centers open? All we can do is speculate at this point. You could probably contact the College Board CLEP support line to inquire about local test centers and ask why they're so hard to find lately.
